I have tried everything i can think of to get this thing
to work. I have two nodes on the MN-100 microsoft
gateway router, and cant seem to get the file sharing to
work correctly when i set up the workgroup. I've tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the NIC's, I've tried
formatting both computers to factory restore, I've run XP
networking wizard on both computers, I've made sure all
the firewalls that i know of were disabled... and still
when i try to browse the network by clicking on view
network computers, it comes up with a box saying that the
computer is not accessable. I've also tried resetting the
router. This is wierd because when i open the microsoft
network utility, it shows the other computer. Please
help, this is driving me crazy.

NOTE* It worked fine until i took both computers off and
re-formatted, which was what i wanted to do in the first
place.
 
The first question I always ask is if you can ping. if not, compare ipconfig
/all or post it here.
